Chinese sanctions on the DPRK are intended to urge the DPRK to come back to the negotiating table and build a peaceful Peninsula. In June 2016, Beijing banned imports of iron ore from Pyongyang as well as exports of jet fuel and other oil products used to make rocket fuel. China also banned imports of gold and rare-earth elements from the DPRK, implementing UN Security Council Resolution2270. In February of this year, China suspended coal imports from the DPRK for the rest of 2017, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2321, responding to the DPRK's fifth nuclear test in September 2016. In response to two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July, the Security Council adopted Resolution2371 in August. China complies with UN resolutions, and completely prohibited imports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead and seafood from the DPRK starting in August.

When United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) was passed, it changed history. Never before had world leaders formally recognized the key contributions of women in conflict and post-conflict interventions, including their role in brokering peace, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. On the 15th anniversary of resolution 1325, we look back at how a broad civil society movement brought this agenda to the council, and, working together with governments and UN agencies, saw the resolution through to adoption.

At the UN, 15 nations are tasked with maintaining international peace and security. So yeah, good luck?

United Nations

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

During the Second World War, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated talks on a successor agency to the League of Nations, and the United Nations Charter was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies. The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. The organization's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success.

Security

Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm. It applies to any vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, item, nation, or organization.

As noted by the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM) in the OSSTMM 3, security provides "a form of protection where a separation is created between the assets and the threat." These separations are generically called "controls," and sometimes include changes to the asset or the threat.

Perceived security compared to real security

Perception of security may be poorly mapped to measureable objective security. For example, the fear of earthquakes has been reported to be more common than the fear of slipping on the bathroom floor although the latter kills many more people than the former. Similarly, the perceived effectiveness of security measures is sometimes different from the actual security provided by those measures. The presence of security protections may even be taken for security itself. For example, two computer security programs could be interfering with each other and even cancelling each other's effect, while the owner believes s/he is getting double the protection.

Council

A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants.

A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman.

In politics

Notable examples of types of councils encountered in politics include:

United Nations Security Council resolution

A United Nations Security Council resolution is a UN resolution adopted by the fifteen members of the Security Council; the UN body charged with "primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security".

The UN Charter specifies (in Article 27) that a draft resolution on non-procedural matters is adopted if nine or more of the fifteen Council members vote for the resolution, and if it is not vetoed by any of the five permanent members. Draft resolutions on "procedural matters" can be adopted on the basis of an affirmative vote by any nine Council members.

Terms and functions mentioned in the UN Charter

The term "resolution" does not appear in the text of the United Nations Charter. It contains numerous formulations, such as "decision" or "recommendation", which imply the adoption of resolutions which do not specify the method to be used.

Security Council vote on draft resolution on Jerusalem

Security Council voted on draft resolution S/2017/1060 submitted by Egypt on Jerusalem - 14 votes in favor, 1 vote against (USA).
The draft was put forward by Egypt on behalf of the Arab group and received 14 out of 15 votes in the Security Council. The draft aimed at reaffirming previous Council resolutions regarding the Question of Palestine and called on countries not to establish diplomatic missions in Jerusalem.

Bashar al Ja’Afari said the U.S. missile strikes in his country would not stop Syria’s attempts from further negotiations. He called the U.N. draft resolution a “shameful diplomatic act” that did not wait for honest investigation. He said it was a misuse of instruments by U.N.

UN Defies Trump, Votes To Condemn Trump's Jerusalem Decision

More than 120 countries defied PresidentDonald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.
Trump’s threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions.

The United Nations (UN) Security council: how they voted for resolution 2334 explained

A whiteboard animation explaining how the United Nation's Security Council votes. I made this because of news stories at the end of 2016 about resolution 2334 when there was a lot about president Obama and the decision of the United States to abstain from voting and not casting a veto.

Chinese sanctions on the DPRK are intended to urge the DPRK to come back to the negotiating table and build a peaceful Peninsula. In June 2016, Beijing banned imports of iron ore from Pyongyang as well as exports of jet fuel and other oil products used to make rocket fuel. China also banned imports of gold and rare-earth elements from the DPRK, implementing UN Security Council Resolution2270. In February of this year, China suspended coal imports from the DPRK for the rest of 2017, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2321, responding to the DPRK's fifth nuclear test in September 2016. In response to two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July, the Security Council adopted Resolution2371 in August. China complies with UN resolutions, and completely prohibited imports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead and seafood from the DPRK starting in August.

Sir Michael Wood on the Interpretation of Security Council Resolutions

When United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) was passed, it changed history. Never before had world leaders formally recognized the key contributions of women in conflict and post-conflict interventions, including their role in brokering peace, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. On the 15th anniversary of resolution 1325, we look back at how a broad civil society movement brought this agenda to the council, and, working together with governments and UN agencies, saw the resolution through to adoption.

The U.N.Security Council meets to discuss the ongoing conflict in Syria. SyrianAmbassador to the U.N. Bashar al Ja’Afari said the U.S. missile strikes in his country would not stop Syria’s attempts from further negotiations. He called the U.N. draft resolution a “shameful diplomatic act” that did not wait for honest investigation. He said it was a misuse of instruments by U.N. Security Council and accused U.S. and U.K. of using the same tactic against Iraq in 2003.

More than 120 countries defied PresidentDonald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.
Trump’s threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions.

U.n. security council imposes new sanctions on north korea over missil | News News
UNITED NATIONS/SEOUL (Reuters) - The U.N.Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions on North Korea on Friday for its recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, seeking to limit its access to refined petroleum products and crude oil and its earnings from workers abroad.

The U.S.-drafted resolution also caps crude oil supplies to North Korea at 4 million barrels a year and commits the Council to further reductions if i...

China follows UN Security Council resolutions to sanction on DPRK

Chinese sanctions on the DPRK are intended to urge the DPRK to come back to the negotiating table and build a peaceful Peninsula. In June 2016, Beijing banned imports of iron ore from Pyongyang as well as exports of jet fuel and other oil products used to make rocket fuel.

In response to two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July, the Security Council adopted Resolution2371 in August.

UN Defies Trump, Votes To Condemn Trump's Jerusalem Decision

More than 120 countries defied PresidentDonald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.
Trump’s threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions.

U.S. vetoes UN resolution on withdrawal of Trump decision

In a symbolic move that shows the U.S. is alone in its recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the UN Security Council has voted on a resolution it knew would NOT pass. Fourteen council members voted in favour of the U.S. rescinding its controversial decision, but it was blocked by a U.S. veto. Our UN correspondent Liling Tan explains why this resolution carries so much weight -- despite its failure.

This video shows you that Pakistan Not Complying With UNSCResolutions On Sanctions Against Terr0rists.
Pakistan is not complying with the UN Security Council resolutions on sanctions against terr0rists, the US has said amid reports that it is spearheading an effort along with India to get Islamabad included in an international terr0rist-financing watchlist.
The remarks by a State Department official came ahead of a crucial Financial Action Task Force(FATF) meeting in Paris from February 18 to 23.
"The US has consistently expressed our long-standing concern about ongoing deficiencies in Pakistan's implementation of its anti-money laundering/counterterr0rism finance (AML/CFT) regime," a State Department Spokesperson told PTI.
"In addition to broader systemic concerns, this also includes Pakistanâ€[TM]s non-compliance with its commitments under UN Security Council Resolution 1267," the spokesperson said.
This is probably for the first time that the US has come out in the public accusing Pakistan of not in compliance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council.
The UNSecurity Council resolution asks member countries to freeze the assets of, prevent the entry into or transit through their territories by, and prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale and transfer of arms and military equipment to any individual or entity associated with Al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden and/or the Taliban as designated by the Committee.
The US official was responding to questions on a statement by a top Pakistani official that TrumpAdministration has approached the FATF to place it on a grey list.
The US and India are spearheading an effort to get Pakistan included in the watchdog's international money-laundering and terr0r-financing 'grey list', reports from Pakistan said.
"The February Plenary of the intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force (FATF) will be determining appropriate next steps regarding Pakistan," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that the FATF discussions were confidential and there would not be any publicly released information until any decision over the issue.
"Confidentiality of the FATF internal deliberations and documents are very important and core to the deliberative process," the spokesperson said.

U.n. security council imposes new sanctions on north korea over missil | News News
UNITED NATIONS/SEOUL (Reuters) - The U.N.Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions on North Korea on Friday for its recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, seeking to limit its access to refined petroleum products and crude oil and its earnings from workers abroad. The U.N. resolution seeks to ban nearly 90 percent of refined petroleum exports to North Korea by capping them at 500,000 barrels a year and, in a last-minute change, demands the repatriation of North Koreans working abroad within 24 months, instead of 12 months as first proposed. The U.S.-drafted resolution also caps crude oil supplies to North Korea at 4 million barrels a year and commits the Council to further reductions if it were to conduct another nuclear test or launch another ICBM. North Korea on Nov. 29 said it successfully tested a new ICBM that put the U.S. mainland within range of its nuclear weapons. Tension has been rising over North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, which it pursues in defiance of years of U.N. Security Council resolutions, with bellicose rhetoric coming from both Pyongyang and the White House. In November, North Korea demanded a halt to what it called “brutal sanctions”, saying a round imposed after its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3 constituted genocide. U.S. diplomats have made clear they are seeking a diplomatic solution but proposed the new, tougher sanctions resolution to ratchet up pressure on North Korean leaderKim Jong Un. “It sends the unambiguous message to Pyongyang that further defiance will invite further punishments and isolation,” Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said after the 15-0 vote. The NorthKorean mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Wu Haitao, China’s deputy U.N. ambassador, said tensions on the Korean peninsula risk “spiraling out of control” and he repeated Beijing’s call for talks. China’s foreign ministry said it hoped all parties would ...Source : https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles/u-n-security-council-imposes-new-sanctions-on-north-korea-over-missile-test-idUSKBN1EG0HV?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews

Chinese sanctions on the DPRK are intended to urge the DPRK to come back to the negotiating table and build a peaceful Peninsula. In June 2016, Beijing banned imports of iron ore from Pyongyang as well as exports of jet fuel and other oil products used to make rocket fuel. China also banned imports of gold and rare-earth elements from the DPRK, implementing UN Security Council Resolution2270. In February of this year, China suspended coal imports from the DPRK for the rest of 2017, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2321, responding to the DPRK's fifth nuclear test in September 2016. In response to two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July, the Security Council adopted Resolution2371 in August. China complies with UN resolutions, and completely prohibited imports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead and seafood from the DPRK starting in August.

UN to vote on new North Korea resolution further restricting oil supply

안보리 北유류공급 더 옥죈다…신규 제재결의 내일 표결
Washington introduced a new draft resolution at the UN Security Council… proposing further sanctions on North Korea.
During the vote on the proposal China and Russia are not expected to use their vetoes this time.
Kwon Jang-ho has the full story.
The UNSecurity Council will vote Friday, local time on a new U.S.-led draft resolution on North Korea, that has been introduced in reaction to the regime's latest ballistic missile test in late November.
According to Reuters and AFP, the new resolution will look to ban nearly 90 percent of refined petroleum product exports to North Korea by capping them at 500-thousand barrels a year... building on the previous resolution in September that set a limit of 2 million barrels.
Crude oil exports to the regime have also been capped at four million barrels a year.
And all North Korean nationals working overseas would also have to be repatriated within twelve months.
The list of banned North Korean exports would also be extended to include food products, machinery, and electrical equipment, as well as certain stones and minerals.
19 individuals and firms would be added to a growing international blacklist as well, freezing their financial assets and imposing a travel ban.
North Korea's closest ally, China, is not expected to use its veto, after the U.S. negotiated the draft with Beijing over the past week.
Although it does not include a complete ban on oil, as suggested by PresidentTrump to President Xi Jinping last month, China's go-ahead would still be seen as a significant measure.
More-so as China has not yet approved a different proposal by the U.S.
Washington had asked the council to blacklist 10 ships, including two Hong Kong-flagged vessels and a Chinese tugboat, which are said to be carrying banned oil and coal products to and from North Korea.
China and Russia have requested more time to examine that proposal, and the decision for approval to blacklist the ships will now take place on December 28th.

More than 120 countries defied PresidentDonald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.
Trump’s threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions.

Haley: new un resolution punishing iran could be in the works
Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, said that based on a new report by the U.N.Secretary General, new pressure on Iran’s continued behavior could lead to a new resolution against the Tehran regime or the strengthening present ones. Haley was speaking Tuesday at a briefing on the Security Council resolution 2231 that endorsed the Iran nuclear deal in 2015. Haley warned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps could be included for its many violations. Haley told the council that the report by SecretaryGeneral António Guterres was the most damning to date on Resolution 2231. “Based on the U.N. report, we have an opportunity to confront the Iranian regime for its actions that are clearly in violation of Security Council resolutions. The international community must demonstrate that we are committed to ensuring accountability for the full spectrum of Iran’s malign behavior. The Security Council must follow through on the violations listed in the SecretaryGeneral’s re...

IsraeliAmbassador to the United NationsDanny Danon firmly places the situation into clarity, after the USA on Monday (18/12/2017) vetoed a draft UN resolution sponsored by Egypt,which rejected PresidentDonald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, after all 14 other Security Council members backed the measure.
"After the vote, Haley lashed out at the other members of the Council, calling the proceedings "an insult" that "won't be forgotten."
"The fact that this veto is being done in defense of American sovereignty and in defense of America's role in the Middle East peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us," said Haley. "It should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the Security Council."
"Before the vote, Haley was sharply critical of the Obama Administration's abstention from voting on last year's Resolution2334, which she called a "significant setback."

UN IssuesResolution to Rescind US Decision on Jerusalem, That’s When the TrumpAdministrationTakesActionThe United States on Monday blocked a move by the United Nations Security Council that would have forced PresidentDonald Trump to reverse his controversial declaration naming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Experts predicted the U.S. would veto the measure, which marked the first time it cast such a vote on a U.N.Security Council resolution in more than six years.
As Reuters reported, U.N. AmbassadorNikki Haley called the effort “an insult” that “won’t be forgotten.”
She went on to defend the veto as a necessary move for the U.S.
“We do it with no joy,” Haley said. “But we do it with no reluctance.”
The vote was cast “in defense of American sovereignty and in defense of America’s role in the Middle East peace process,” she said.
CNBC reported that the single-page resolution did not mention the U.S. action specifically, but decried “recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem.”
The document further asserted that any proposed alterations to “the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council.”
While the resolution received support from 14 of the 15 council members, the U.S. is one of five member nations — along with France, Britain, Russia and China — with unilateral veto power.
Last year, a measure passed in the U.N. Security Council declaring that “it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations.”
The U.S. abstained from that vote, which passed with the support of the other 14 nations.
Though the other council members voted in favor of Monday’s resolution, Haley cautioned them of the precedent such a move could set.
“The United States has a sovereign right to determine where and whether we establish an embassy,” she said. “I suspect very few member states would welcome Security Council pronouncements about their sovereign decisions.”
Haley has previously expressed support for Trump’s decision to relocate the Israeli embassy, calling it the “right and just thing to do.”

In a symbolic move that shows the U.S. is alone in its recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the UN Security Council has voted on a resolution it knew would NOT pass. Fourteen council members voted in favour of the U.S. rescinding its controversial decision, but it was blocked by a U.S. veto. Our UN correspondent Liling Tan explains why this resolution carries so much weight -- despite its failure.

UN Security Council draft resolution would render Donald Trump'sJerusalem recognition 'null and void.
The UNSecurity Council is considering whether to render all decisions about the status of Jerusalem void, just days after US PresidentDonald Trump acknowledged the city as Israel's capital.
The 15-member UN Security Council is reviewing a draft resolution that would rescind such decisions and demand that “all states comply with Security Council resolutions regarding the Holy City of Jerusalem,” according to a draft obtained by Reuters. The draft does not mention Mr Trump or the US specifically.
The one-page draft resolution affirms that “any decisions and actions which purport to have altered, the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council”. The draft resolution also instructs member states not to establish diplomatic missions in Jerusalem. The UN maintains that the status of Jerusalem is a “final status issue” that should be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinians.
The document was drafted by Egypt, and diplomats say it has broad support – though it will likely be vetoed by Washington. A UN Security Council resolution needs nine votes in its favour and no vetoes from the US, France, Britain, Russia or China in order to pass.
Mr Trump acknowledged Jerusalem as Israel's capital earlier this month, fulfilling a campaign promise and satisfying his conservative voter base. The announcement also set in motion a plan to move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the Holy City.
Israel considers the Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital and wants all embassies based there. Palestinians want the capital of an independent Palestinian state to be in the city's eastern sector, which Israel captured in a 1967 war and annexed in a move never recognised internationally.
Mr Trump’s decision broke with nearly 70 years of US policy, and angered many of the country’s international allies. France, Germany and Saudi Arabia and the UK all condemned the decision. The EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, firmly stated that the bloc would not be following the US President’s lead.
Protests broke out in the West Bank and Gaza shortly after the decision was announced. An estimated 3,000 people marched, burned Israeli flags and stamped on posters of Mr Trump. Protesters also demonstrated in Amman, Rabat, Beirut, Cairo and Pakistan.
More than 50 Muslim nations have jointly condemned the decision. Palestinian PresidentMahmoud Abbas declared that the US was “no longer qualified to sponsor the peace process," and Turkish PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan deemed the US' role "over" in brokering peace in the region.
The Independent has reached out to the White House and the US mission to the UN for comment.

LIVE: UN Security Council emergency meeting on Aleppo

The United NationsSecurity Council has gathered for an emergency meeting to vote on a resolution regarding the critical situation in the Syrian city Aleppo. An early draft from France called for putting an end to aerial bombardments on Aleppo.

United Nations Security Council

The United NationsSecurity Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations and is charged with the maintenance of international peace and security. Its powers include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action through Security Council resolutions; it is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions to member states. The Security Council held its first session on 17 January 1946.
Like the UN as a whole, the Security Council was created following World War II to address the failings of another international organization, the League of Nations, in maintaining world peace. In its early decades, the body was largely paralysed by the Cold War division between the ...

Mandated to Protect - Protection of Civilians in Peacekeeping Operations

Over the past 20 years, Protection of Civilians has moved to the forefront of the Security Council resolutions under which United Nations peacekeepers are deployed.
But what exactly is meant by "protection of civilians"? How are peacekeepers meant to protect? What are the responsibilities of heads of mission and force commanders? How are we to counter crimes against women and children who have become weapons of war?
These and other questions are addressed in this program which features contributions from United Nations personnel, military, police and civilian peacekeepers, as well as representatives from international non-governmental organisations around the world with vast experience in the Protection of Civilians in the context of peacekeeping operations.

Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on an immediate seven-day ceasefire in the Syrian city of Aleppo. The RussianForeign Minister described the draft resolution as counterproductive to a practical outcome.
Venezuela also voted against the resolution while Angola abstained. The remaining 11 members of the UNSC, voted in favor of the document. The draft resolution, submitted by Egypt, Spain and New Zealand, proposed an initial ceasefire period of seven days, to allow for the delivery of humanitarian cargo and to pave the way for the resumption of settlement talks.

One would think this body would be impartial, more than any other body that convenes. But, this is hardly the truth. “…it's the one place on planet earth where nations get together and attempt to speak with one voice that's why their resolutions can make a big difference.” According to the Jerusalem Institute of Justice’s research, “approximately 40% of the UN Human Rights Council resolutions were against [Israel]”. This is taking place while nations like North Korea, Syria, and Iran carry out their daily actions of oppressive leaders, terrorism, and outright evil. The world looks at the United Nations as a defining factor towards world situations. “…with these repeated resolutions against Israel, it's easy to see why so many in the international community perceive Israel as a major cause of world problems.”
As the Jerusalem Institute of Justice further explains, Communist nations teamed up with Islamic nations for the sole purpose of discrediting America while also crushing any Pro-Israel outcome during votes. “So, in 1975 the new-found communist Muslim voting bloc spearheaded the passing of a UN resolution that officially stated Zionism is a form of racism.” Ironically enough, according to Wikipedia, Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel. To understand the outright contradiction this is, the Jerusalem Institute of Justice uses these words; “Which is kind of like saying the civil rights movement is racism and Martin Luther King is a racist.”
Since the moment that PresidentDonald Trump has taken over the Presidency in America, new leadership has been sending shock waves throughout the International Community. This includes his appointment of Nikki Haley as America’s Ambassador to the United Nations. After her first United Nations Security Council meeting, Ambassador Haley saw clearly through the smoke and mirrors.
“The Security Council just finished its regular monthly meeting on Middle East issues. It’s the first meeting like that that I’ve attended and I’d have to say, it was a bit strange.” To her surprise, she points out a multitude of topics that were NOT discussed, “…but, in our meeting on the Middle East, the discussion was not about Hezbollah’s illegal buildup of rockets in Lebanon, it was not about the money and weapons Iran provides to terrorists, it was not about how we defeat ISIS, it was not how we hold Bashar al-Assad accountable for the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of civilians…” No. None of these. As Ambassador Haley addresses, this is what the United Nations Security Council discussed, “…instead, the meeting focused on criticizing Israel; the one true democracy in the Middle East.” As shocking as it was for those listening for the Ambassador to speak such blatant truth, she continues to highlight how America would no longer be repeating the decisions in previous occurrences. “I’m here to say, the United States will not turn a blind eye to this anymore. I’m here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel. I’m here to emphasize the United States is determined to stand up to the U.N.’s anti-Israel biases.”

German Foreign Minister speaks about Syria before U.N. Security Council meeting

The rationale for the Iraq War (i.e. the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent hostilities) has been a contentious issue since the Bush administration began actively pressing for military intervention in Iraq in late 2001. The primary rationalization for the Iraq War was articulated by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress known as the Iraq Resolution.
The U.S. stated that the intent was to remove "a regime that developed and used weapons of mass destruction, that harbored and supported terrorists, committed outrageous human rights abuses, and defied the just demands of the United Nations and the world". Additional reasons have been suggested: "to change the Middle East so as to deny support for militant Islam by pressuring or transforming the nations and transnational systems that support it." For the invasion of Iraq the rationale was "the United States relied on the authority of UN Security Council Resolutions678 and 687 to use all necessary means to compel Iraq to comply with its international obligations".[3]
In the lead-up to the invasion, the U.S. and UK emphasized the argument that Saddam Hussein was developing "weapons of mass destruction" and thus presented a threat to his neighbors, to the U.S., and to the world community. The U.S. stated "on November 8, 2002, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1441. All fifteen members of the Security Council agreed to give Iraq a final opportunity to comply with its obligations and disarm or face the serious consequences of failing to disarm. The resolution strengthened the mandate of the UN Monitoring and Verification Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), giving them authority to go anywhere, at any time and talk to anyone in order to verify Iraq's disarmament."[4] Throughout late 2001, 2002, and early 2003, the Bush Administration worked to build a case for invading Iraq, culminating in then Secretary of StateColin Powell's February 2003 address to the Security Council. Shortly after the invasion, the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, and other intelligence agencies largely discredited evidence related to Iraqi weapons as well as links to Al-Qaeda, and at this point the Bush and Blair Administrations began to shift to secondary rationales for the war, such as the Hussein government's human rights record and promoting democracy in Iraq. Opinion polls showed that the population of nearly all countries opposed a war without UN mandate, and that the view of the United States as a danger to world peace had significantly increased. UN Secretary-GeneralKofi Annan described the war as illegal, saying in a September 2004 interview that it was "not in conformity with the Security Council."
Accusations of faulty evidence and alleged shifting rationales became the focal point for critics of the war, who charge that the Bush Administration purposely fabricated evidence to justify an invasion it long planned to launch. Supporters of the war claim that the threat from Iraq and Saddam Hussein was real and that this has later been established. The U.S. led the effort for "the redirection of former Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) scientists, technicians and engineers to civilian employment and discourage emigration of this community from Iraq."
Other critics have noted that the Iraq War has several similarities with the Korean War and Vietnam War.
The United States officially declared its combat role in Iraq over on August 31, 2010, although several thousand troops remained in the country until all American troops were withdrawn from Iraq by December 2011; between that time American troops also engaged in combat with Iraqi insurgents.

Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on an immediate seven-day ceasefire in the Syrian city of Aleppo. The RussianForeign Minister described the draft resolution as counterproductive to a practical outcome.
Venezuela also voted against the resolution while Angola abstained. The remaining 11 members of the UNSC, voted in favor of the document. The draft resolution, submitted by Egypt, Spain and New Zealand, proposed an initial ceasefire period of seven days, to allow for the delivery of humanitarian cargo and to pave the way for the resumption of settlement talks.

Russia, which warned its colleagues in advance that it would veto the text, was criticized by the US-led block. The Russian envoy said that the UNSC should not undermine efforts made by Russian Foreign MinisterSergey Lavrov and his counterpart John Kerry, who agreed on a settlement plan for Aleppo in Rome on December 2. The plan includes the withdrawal of militants from the eastern part of the city.
“US Secretary of State, Mr. Kerry is working with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Mr. Lavrov to reach a tangible outcome. But when they are close to an agreement, someone topples it,” Churkin said, after a speech by the US delegate.
Churkin said that Russia-US negotiations are the only way to bring peace to Aleppo.
“Russia is trying to achieve a solution including by the Security Council which would have a chance for success. The initiative which Lavrov and Kerry discussed two days ago has a chance to succeed because it would lead to an effective end to the Aleppo tragedy, which has lasted for several years,” Churkin said.
“That is a made-up alibi,” US deputy ambassador Michele Sison told the council. “We have not reached a breakthrough because Russia has been more focused on preserving its military gains than helping Aleppo's citizens.”
“We will not let Russia string along this Security Council while waiting for a compromise from the Russians that never seems to come,” she added.
The US position was supported by UK AmbassadorMatthew Rycroft, who said, “[Russia and China] have chosen to veto not because of a lack of consultation, but because of their long-standing, misplaced faith in a despot who has killed nearly half a million of his own people.”
Taking the floor, Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi said Rycroft was “poisoning” the atmosphere and “abusing” the forum with his remarks.
“I would like to ask the representative of the UK, what right does he have to distort positions of other countries? The Security Council is a solemn forum. it is not a place where groundless attacks can be made on other countries positions,” Liu said.
“I would like the UK representative to put an end to such practice of poisoning the atmosphere of the security council and abusing the solemn forum of the council. This is not the first time that he did this and I hope that such abuse will not repeat in the future,” the Chinese envoy said.

Before the vote, Russia’s UN envoy said that the country would vote against the document, informing UNSC members of Moscow’s decision.
Churkin said that Egypt, New Zealand and Spain “were shamelessly pressured by the trio of permanent western members,” which insisted on the draft being put to a vote as soon as possible.
Moscow regards such actions are “provocative.” They undermine the “peace efforts of the co-chairs of the SyriaSupportGroup [Russia and the US],” he added.
Moscow and Damascus have long maintained that humanitarian pauses have been used by fighters to resupply ammunition and to strengthen their positions which only worsens the suffering of civilians.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the resolution ran counter to a solution that the US and Russia are trying to agree on for Aleppo.
“Taking into consideration the outcome of the previous pauses [in the conflict], there is absolutely no doubt that the 10-day ceasefire, which backers of the draft resolution generously want to provide the militants with, would surely be used for regrouping and rearming the extremists and would slow down the liberation of eastern Aleppo from them,” Lavrov said.
Prior to the UN vote, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russian and US experts should soon start work aimed at “complete the withdrawal of all militants from the eastern part of the city.”
“The sides will also have to coordinate the routes and time for the complete withdrawal of all militants. Once this is done a ceasefire will be announced with a view to their evacuation,” the ministry said in a statement.
